So last week I made a big transition, joining Andrew Nash‘s identity services team at PayPal. (And I kind of told Twitter about it before I told y’all. Sorry about that; it’s the nature of the communications beast.) Working with Andrew, Ashish, and other great folks at PayPal is going to be a blast. And it’s an especially interesting time to shift from a technology-stack-providing world to a consumer-facing one.

Being with Sun Microsystems for ten years was an honor and a pleasure; I got to work closely with some of the most talented and interesting folks in the business. And during that time my experiences helped me layer new personae onto “old SGMLer”: “XMLgrrl”, “the SAML lady”, and even, ahem, “the queen of Venn”.
